Training
Datum Marine offer boating courses and develop and teach commercial power boat handling and navigation courses. These boating courses are geared towards getting students working in the commercial marine industry. We offer Transport Canada accredited boating courses including Marine Emergency Duties (MEDA3) and the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency (SVOP). These are certificates and qualifications needed at the entry level into the commercial marine industry anywhere in Canada.

The marine industry across Canada involving "small" vessels is thriving and expanding all the time. There are and will continue to be many exciting opportunities for you in the industry. There are jobs in tourism, fishing, guiding, passenger and freight transportation, enforcement and many other areas which all depend on boats.

Our Marine Proficiency Guide Books
Our manuals are ideal study guides for the MEDA3 (Marine Emergency Duties) & SVOP (Small Vessel Operator Proficiency) Transport Canada certificate programs.

The training manuals are also intended for qualified boating course providers to use as teaching aids for MEDA3 and SVOP courses. These boat training manuals contain material that you would otherwise have to obtain by purchasing several different publications.

Everyone who works in the "small" vessel segment of Canada’s commercial marine industry is required to hold the appropriate certificates. Whether a beginner or an "old salt" we must work together with Transport Canada to achieve this standard. Together we will make Canadian commercial power boat operations safer and more professional through education and standards of excellence.
